Monotonicity and symmetry of solutions of \(p\)-Laplace equations, \(1<p<2\), via the moving plane method (Q1287007)

Summary: We present some monotonicity and symmetry results for positive solutions of the equation \[ -\text{div}(| Du|^{p- 2}Du)= f(u) \] satisfying a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition in a bounded domain \(\Omega\). We assume \(1<p<2\) and \(f\) locally Lipschitz continuous and we do not require any hypothesis on the critical set of the solution. In particular, we get that \(\Omega\) is a ball then the solutions are radially symmetric and strictly radially decreasing.
